What is the key to end suffering? How can you stop feeling guilt? Is it possible to end the war with your inner critic? How?
To help me answer all these questions and more, I’m joined by world renowned spiritual teacher Byron Katie. After 10 years of self-loathing and depression so was able to pull herself out of the drakness and live her dream life. Her secret? Questioning her feelings and not believing her thoughts.
Since then, Byron Katie has dedicated her life to teaching people what she calls ‘The Work’ — a powerful yet simple process of self-inquiry — that has helped millions of people for more than thirty years.
In this deep and meaningful conversation, she shares with us her process and the four powerful questions that will change your life forever. Once you start ‘The Work’ you realize that having those negative thoughts doesn’t necessarily make them true. You will also learn how to master your inner critic, let go of fear, expectations, guilt, resentment and anger, plus so much more. If you want to take control of your mind and life, and believe the life you truly desire into reality, press play, you are going to love this episode.
